It has recently been damaged by 'conservation' work. The cathedral stands in the middle of another defensive site or Dún, which gave its name to the citadel before the spurious 'Patrick' was added by a Norman war-lord in the 13th century. Signs similarly motivated proclaim Downpatrick as "Ancient City of Down" when they really mean "Ancient Citadel of Down".
